But in terms of using taxpayers' money to fund a lavish lifestyle, he's a quick study at some of the sleazier qualities of politicians. A $10 million travel budget in the first month is unprecedented. Obama spent $100 million over the full eight years back when Republicans complained about such things. At that rate it will be 480 million for the term. And he hasn't left the country yet. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Is $480 million a lot...to Canadians ? That's a rounding error in the U.S. budget. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Very cool, I should have tried that with my bank when I was carrying a mortgage (which I was in 2008 - paid off in 2011). Sorry Mr. Banker, I will not pay my instalment and further more you loaned me the money in the first place to increase your real-estate portfolio and you are responsible for the crash so therefore you must pay me back ten times the original amount you loaned me.

Wilber Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Is it any wonder why he won't release his tax returns? US Banks won't lend him money, makes you wonder why the Germans will and under what terms. Who else does he owe money to and in what countries?

?Impact Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Stalin and Mao had "enemies of the people", and labor camps (or worse) to deal with them. Now we have: "The FAKE NEWS media (failing New York Times, NBC News, ABC, CBS, CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!" Quote

Got cortisone shots and unless it is snowing, she now humps 5K up and down Sumas Mountain every morning, bad knees and all. She is the same age as Trump. I have no excuses not to go with her.

Wilber Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Kushner, his mother and Ivanka are also Deutsche Bank clients but until I learn otherwise, I will assume they do pay their debts. Still, Trump's advisors are beholden to foreign banks. There is no telling how much this man is compromised by banks, institutions and governments around the world, but his supporters will just ignore it all and blather on about Benghazi and Hillary's email server. 1 Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice".

Guest Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 My picture was deleted. For all those who didn't see it, it was funny, and very relevant to the post it followed. It didn't need any added text, so I didn't bother. Most people would have "got it". At least I finally realised what all those blue lines cropping up all over the place were. Watch for one here.
